Hello,
I am working on getting my college degree in education then I realized that I can't become a teacher if I have to live in fear that my students find out I have bipolar disorder. I use a service dog and people ask all the times what my disability is. I tried going to schools through observation but with my dog I knew it was impossible. Also I have been struggling with letting bipolar disorder be something I tell people around me. I really want people I know to know about my illness, within reason, but as a teacher I couldn't feel like I can be honest with anyone. Even if I went and got through school and became a teacher I wouldn't be able to cope with the idea of hiding and pretending I was something I'm not. Even if I didn't use a service dog. Now I am left with no idea's on what to do with my life.
Do you have any experiences or how you handle your diagnosis and your social and professional life?

Thanks,

Lilly
